I find it almost incomprehensible the first time sometimes told me (in the UK) they were going to sleep on the street because the shelter didn't allow drugs. I don't think they were a particularly special case.

Victims of circumstance to some extent, but not stupid nor really living their preferred life I'd wager.

I suspect you need a stable caring society for a couple of generations and still there will be some outliers. A worthy cause to address though.
All that means is that there are thousands of people willing to risk jail time if they're shown to have lied. It says nothing about whether they lied or not.

For what it's worth I imagine many of them think they're telling the truth, or at least are honestly putting their name to something they've been told and believe. That also doesn't mean they're right though.
Most warheads are actually very safe, and require either a detonator, or very high heat/pressure to set them off. The most dangerous part of most weapons is actually the propellant (which free-fall bombs obviously do not contain).

This is a product of what weapons are designed for; the warhead is designed to resist premature detonation, but the fuel (and oxidizer if present) must be readily and easily combustible in an engine.
Entering the “Age of Pandemics”
So which raw materials are actually necessary for human life? What happens when one area runs out? What is the rate limit of extraction in any given area? Should we consider other life besides human to be necessary? What do they need?

I don't understand how doctors and farmers create wealth. A farmer is taking up a massive amount of land, that other species may need. A doctor helps people recover from illness and prevent illness, is it then just the extension of human life that we consider 'wealth'?
Start by finding an eye doctor that doesn't have a glasses shop attached, imo. Or one that isn't "attached" to such a shop in a way they would profit from it, I guess. Without insulting any doctor in specific, my thought is that making a profit from glasses being sold is likely to impact how likely the doctor is to prescribe new glasses.
The factors weren't "childhood eyestrain and video games". The one consistent factor was the amount of bright light exposure in a study[1]; in other words, being indoors, away from bright sunlight, which is correlative to eyestrain and video games, not causative, because people tend to do those things indoors. If you read outdoors in bright light, it's not really worse than just hanging around in bright light.

Couldn't find a non-paywalled PDF, sorry, but here's the original study:

Also, it might have changed since then (2012). If there's since been a study refuting this one, let me know, because it's nigh-impossible to find between the glut of citation-free news sites and blog posts, and paywalled journals.

The UKs existing laws do not allow the granting of diplomatic status to organizations only to representatives of nation states the existing laws need to be amended.

Why they weren’t and why this wasn’t part of the withdrawal deal I don’t know, probably more oversight than outright malice.

So I’m not so sure it’s petty at least not as of yet as there is no legal framework in the UK to extend diplomatic status to people who represent the EU (or any other organization) but who’s own nation state has not issued diplomatic credentials to and requested the UK to accept them.
> It is arguably inappropriate to require someone to "learn Lisp" in order to style HTML.

It's entirely appropriate to require people to learn something new, like a Lisp-based template language instead of HTML, if you're paying them to do a job.

Requiring people to learn stuff for a job is one way that shit languages proliferate; why deny that advantage to others?

This is true, but WSB is also fundamentally nihilistic.

I recently read the book Eccentric Orbits about the Iridium comms system that was a lot like this (recommended by the way). One of the technical issues that was mentioned in it was that the satellites had to correct for the Doppler shift in the frequencies they used to talk to each other because of the high relative speed they were traveling at. I wonder if these satellites have a similar problem or if lasers are so directional they can afford to not be too discriminate in what frequencies they accept.

Several very popular US shows come to mind: Weeds, Game of Thrones, Orange is the New Black, just to take the first three that come to mind.

I admittedly don't watch a whole lot of TV, so I may be off base here, but my impression is that, here in the USA, on TV, onscreen depictions of rape are more common than onscreen depictions of positive sexual activity.

A recent convert to GPD Pocket 2. Decades of programming experience from kernel hacking to 3d engines and distributed systems.

After a few days reached 60-80 wpm (depending on the typing test). A drop of ca. 20 wpm from my 13" MacBook Pro.

Installed a dual booting Ubuntu 20.04 Mate LTS. Comes with all the necessary open source drivers. Make sure to get the pre-baked distro for GPD Pocket 2 from Canonical's website. Intel Graphics acceleration works flawlessly as do all the GPU acceleration options in Firefox. Installing Compiz as a compositing manager really speeds everything up.

Now use this more often than my Macbook Pro. In fact, the GPD Pocket's touchscreen spoiled me and now I keep pressing on normal laptop's screens expecting for things to happen :D. GPD's substitute for a mouse is incredibly precise, a huge surprise as my expectations were super low for such an unproven solution. Think of it as some sort of capacitive/optoelectric Lenovo nub in the corner of the keyboard.

Ultimate hackery: The keyboard has a fan on/off switch as the Celeron provided has an operating range of up to 100C. So if you don't need the highest clock rate, turn off the fan with one key press :D

Hoping fellow hackers appreciate this review. Of course, this post is written from my GPD Pocket 2.

P.S. Also running Wine, PlayOnLinux, WinUAE and AROS. 8 GB RAM and 256 GB SSD make it easy to be cavalier about resource use. Performance wise you'll be fines as long as you're not compiling large codebases, editing large videos or expecting to raytrace animations in Blender...

This is what's really pissing off a lot of people who think they're "somebodies" in the finance world.

A bunch of people who didn't attend Columbia, Harvard, and Yale Business Schools are using a fucking phone app to do what only they used to be able to do - manipulate the market. And its pissing them off. For decades, these arrogant little shits were told they were the Masters of the Universe.

Now they're finding out firsthand that it just ain't so, and their egos can't handle it.
Not at all. The data show generally higher efficacy of the western vaccines vs. the Chinese product.
Unless things changed since I last looked, that number is obtained by taking the budget and dividing by the number of people still homeless.

So, for instance, if you had 100 potholes and paid $1 million to fix 99 of them, leaving a single pothole, this statistic would read: you spent $1 million per pothole.
The issue is: The qualifications needed are basically to be 18 and own a valid driver's license.

The labor pool is basically infinite. So naturally offer and demand will dominates the market and an equilibrium will be reached where it's barely profitable to drive.

Cities tried to set minimum prices for rides, which in turn reduced the amount of rides so an other equilibrium point was achieved.

Self taught backend dev here. What's the best DIY way to get a CS background?
Hey folks. Self-taught backend dev here. I learned to code and got hired off LinkedIn thanks to my Github projects and fire in the belly. Sometimes my love of coding feels like a drug addiction :)

I've learned a lot from my first job but I get the sense that there are some things I'm missing out on with no formal CS education. I also work a lot and don't have a ton of free time.

Are there any recommendations that y'all might have for getting up to speed, or leveling up as an engineer? I work mostly in Python and Bash these days, but am open to any resources you think would be good.

> Surely other companies can be more efficient with the 30% cut or less that Google takes, without forcing users to put up with the poor service that's exemplified by the article in the OP.

The fact that no other actor has done that speaks to the fact that it's probably not as straightforward as you might think. Go one step further and take any product in killedbygoogle.com and see how many other actors have benefited from recreating and living off a better version of any of those services... I'm curious how you think that breaking down Google or Apple would help us the end users in this case? Surely a smaller company with less assets/employees will spend even less time doing manual reviews for the same amount of apps.

Meanwhile while HN seems focused on gov to put pressure on big tech to break, I keep getting reminders that my family of 5 using video conferencing for school/work is about to hit its monthly data cap of 1.2TB imposed by Comcast in the middle of the pandemic...
Collectively I doubt WSB posters alone moved GME to any large degree, but the media attention, feuds, and popular memes allowed them to punch well above their weight.

Attracting attention about GME, a stock with more shares sold short than exist, gave a much larger pool of players a rallying cry to drive a short squeeze.
It seems like a lot of WSB stock runs are amplified by automated trading strategies. Between the information that hedge funds get from Robinhood and the feeds I'm sure they might have from Reddit, they should have good visibility on the trends of these retail investors.

> Trust, morality and legality are not the same thing. Sure, Uber was operating illegally in many places, but millions of people used these illegal services and saw nothing wrong with it. They didn’t see using an unlicensed cab company as anything bad.

People baited into purchasing new cars and screwed over car insurance sure did. But more importantly, everyone saw that the legal system in cities around the world isn't powerful enough to deal with direct offense. We saw you can build a multi-billion dollar megacorp not on just regulatory arbitrage, but plainly illegal business - and nobody got hold accountable (except for an off driver caught without proper insurance). All of this fundamentally erodes the trust in the rule of law - the trust on which modern society stands.

> Just because something is illegal doesn’t make it morally wrong

It doesn't, but it was illegal and greedy and exploitative, and dragged people into gig economy which arguably is itself morally questionable.

> If you want to argue that Uber destroyed trust, you can’t simply say it broke the law and call it a day, you need also to argue that the law they broke was good and desirable.

Taxi laws differ by the city. "Taxi mafia" was mostly a phenomenon of some places in the US; in many cities, taxis worked just well. Uber violated law almost everywhere they got, without any care for whether the law was useful or justifiable. It wasn't some act of civil disobedience - they did it for pure profit, to undercut competition and dominate the local markets they entered.

> So, what was the evil and socially destructive thing that Uber actually did?

Now, that's actually a topic much bigger than what I outlined above. The mischief of Uber's sociopathic management has been well publicized and well documented over the past 5+ years. It was a recurring topic on HN for a long time, too. I suggest starting with these two links:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uber#Criticism

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uber#Controversies

(Though they do seem to downplay the insurance issues and threats against journalists.)

The marketplace of ice cream can't function if we have other flavors like pistachio or strawberry being labeled "best" instead of the only truely best ice cream.

You're confusing preferences and facts. I was talking about facts [1], you're talking about preferences.

> In the U.S., the term accredited investor is used by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under Regulation D to refer to investors who are financially sophisticated and have a reduced need for the protection provided by regulatory disclosure filings.

In a pre-IPO company, VCs and other investment groups consider unaccredited investors to be a liability, and they'll either give worse terms or no terms. If you're worth a million bucks the SEC considers you to be a grown-up and that you'll ask questions rather than being spoon-fed data that can help you protect your investment, which takes away a bunch of scenarios where you can litigate.

I worked at a company that turned out to have an unaccredited investor. I didn't hear the details but they had to 'fix it' before the VCs would move forward with discussions. (They still didn't get the money.)

GP's implication is that if you have a million bucks you can get (are?) accredited, which will give you access to private shares. I've heard this too, but I couldn't tell you the details.

That is unfortunately true, and the reason for so much injustice. Thanks for that succinct way of describing this.
Caches are to trade off latency and bandwidth for cost. It's cheaper to put normal servers in regional colos to serve a lot of local customers, probably not cheaper to put expensive servers in orbit to serve a varying and small set of customers below a satellite.

More to the point - if there is actual voter fraud at some point it will need to announced, communicated and investigated. Electronic voting systems can be used to remove humans from the loop and that has real potential to undermine the election system.

There needs to be a very high tolerance of criticism towards voting machines and the companies that make them. Ordinary standards of transparency are not enough, for example.
A few observations about what's changed since this was written:

The layout shown in Figure 2.1 with a traditional shared Front Side Bus linking CPUs to the northbridge is a long-dead design, having been retired from mainstream products by AMD around 2003 and by Intel around 2008.

Since then, the northbridge and memory controllers have been on the CPU die(s) for almost all products. AMD's Zen 2 and later desktop/server CPUs split the northbridge back out to a separate die ("IO die").

All recent x86 processors that I can think of off the top of my head have the PCIe ports provided by the northbridge (which means it's usually part of the CPU die itself). The southbridge is connected to the northbridge/CPU by PCIe (usually four lanes), and part of the southbridge functionality is to act as a PCIe fanout switch.

And the terms "northbridge" and "southbridge" have fallen out of common use, largely because the northbridge being on the CPU die was standard practice for both Intel and AMD for over a decade.

DDR5 is coming, with the significant change of splitting a DIMM into two separate 32-bit memory channels rather than one 64-bit channel. That allows doubling bandwidth again without the burst length becoming longer than the standard 64-byte cache line size.

Your experience is similar to mine. I got glasses at the age of 13, but didn't like wearing the glasses, so never did. Both my late father and my sister (since she was about 12 years old) have to wear thick glasses. My sister started out about the same eye power as I did, but she wears her glasses everyday. My sister's glasses got thicker year over year, and finally she got LASIK a couple of years ago. My sister doesn't work with computers whereas I spend ~10-12 hours a day with computers/TV screens (when I use computer, I don't wear glasses and my eye doctor told me that's okay). For me, my eye power stayed about the same and never got stronger glass prescription over the last 25 years or so.

Having said that, I started wearing glasses about a year ago when watching the TV between 10pm-12am (thanks to my wife who likes watching movies and I joined in). Turns out, my eyesight (near-sight) got a bit worse in a year and now I have a slightly thicker glasses. Again, this is all anecdotal and maybe age comes into play here with my eye sight (but the common knowledge--not sure how true that is--is that the nearsightedness gets better as people age, so what I'm experiencing is the opposite).

I asked about bruxism last year and got extensive replies. This may be of use to someone reading: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23665164

I did not solve mine, though it is signficiantly better managed. I got an improved night guard that isn’t causing jaw misalignment, did some physiotherapy of the jaw and exercises to improve masseter joint junction, and used the sleepguard bruxism monitor so I can see when I’m grinding.

The last one has become less useful as I’ve started knocking it off or turning it off in sleep, but it’s helpful to know bruxism is happening even if you think you have fixed it.

My new guard is a lower guard. I seem to grind more with it, but the upper guard was causing front tooth pain, so I think that may have interrupted grinding but been worse?

Anecdotally I grind more since no longer having a dog.
